4.0 out of 5 stars Fine songs by little known Catalan singers., May 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: D'Un Temp D'Un Pais (Audio CD)

These are songs written towards the end of Franco's dictatorial regime in Spain, in what was known as the "Nova cançó" group. A few of them have a high political content. In particular, Llach's "L'estaca" has been adopted as a revolutionary hymn in many countries such as France and Poland. Others are plainly love songs, even a Catalan version of Cohen's "Suzanne". Serrat gives modern renderings of these little jewels unfairly forgotten, partly to remind himself and his listeners that he was also a part of the rennaissance of Catalan songwriting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Serrat y su homenaje a la Nova Canco catalana, April 21, 2001

El Nano repasa la historia musical de la cataluña pre-franquista de la mano de las canciones de los grandes exponentes de la nova canco catalana con un aire serratiano y con mucho respeto. Disco imprescindible para entender la historia reciente de esa gran región de España. Serrat fue criticado por algunos de aquellos que hoy canta por haber cantado en español, crítica injusta porque Serrat es hoy un ícono de Cataluña en Latinoamérica y siempre ha ejercido de catalán por los distintos paises que visita. Algunas de las canciones de este album son pequeñas obras maestras y ahí esta el Nano para ponerle su "toque" ,sacarlas del anonimato reducido y deleitarnos con su particular interpretación.Brillante.
